Of course, Leno said it as a tongue-in-check joke, but there is probably more truth there than we know.
Romney knows that it would play bad in the court of public opinion if it was known just how little taxes he paid while still squeezing out millions.
So why not just avoid total disclosure.
After all he looked at his tax returns and pronounced them fine. Case closed.
The fact is, that the rich will easily rationalize what they do without moral compunction.
After all, they are smarter than the regular working stiffs and therefore deserve all the entitlements they can get by hook or by crook.
. . . In days gone by, they used to grandly refer to it as the divine right of kings, but since had to reword the concept when the people caught on to the scam.

Leno said he thought a 13% tax rate was fair seeing only 13% of his money was in the USA.... Originally Posted by ekim008
